NFL recognizes Von Miller's proper form tackling

The NFL named Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller its “Way to Play Award” recipient for Week 7 on Thursday afternoon.

Miller was recognized by the league for his proper form tackle on Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen. Here’s footage of the strip-sack that the NFL commended:

“The NFL Way to Play Award recognizes the best examples of playing technique each week of the 2018 regular season,” the Broncos said in a press release.

“A distinguished panel of NFL Legends and coaches selects the player who most positively impacted the game through proper technique (i.e., tackling, blocking, footwork, discipline, vision).”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wrote Miller a letter congratulating him for the award and USA Football pledged to donate $2,500 worth of equipment to the youth football or high school football program of Miller’s choice.

Through seven games, Miller has recorded 7.5 sacks, which ranks third in the league behind Aaron Donald (8.0) and Danielle Hunter (8.0). Miller is now nine sacks away from 100 career sacks.
